ACM SAC 2006 Data Mining Track (September 3, 2005 / Apil 23-27 2006)

Just received the ACM SAC 2006 Data Mining Track CFP. ACM SAC 2006 will be held in Dijon, France. A popular city these days.

Recent interests in combining data mining technology with database management systems, and extending XML to support data mining offer significant promises for modern applications that require the support of declarative and ad hoc querying in an increasingly distributed and heterogeneous environment . These emerging applications pose new challenges and demand novel solutions. Researchers have realized that fusing techniques from machine learning, statistics, information theory into data mining will result in clear benefits and enhance the state of the art in data mining. The goal of this track, thus, is to encourage researchers and practitioners to address some of these challenges, help cross fertilization of ideas among different focus groups and provide a common forum for the exchange of ideas in an informal environment.
